This is not new at all. They tried to use mRNA vaccines for other diseases as well, but were never approved. This still holds true to this date.

It seems that Dengvaxia is a live attenuated vaccine, what is the relationship with mRNA vaccine?

Yeah, you're right. Better examples are:

Influenza: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31079849/

Rabies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28754494/
